Delta Dental of Tennessee was first formed as Tennessee Dental Services Corporation in 1965 as the result of enabling legislation passed by the Tennessee General Assembly. In 1970, the company became a part of the Delta Dental Plans Association, which was created in order to coordinate dental insurance for companies with employees in multiple states.

Since then, Delta Dental of Tennessee has grown to become the largest independent dental insurance provider in the state, with more than 2,100 employer groups representing over 1.4 million Tennesseans. We also have the state’s largest network of practicing, licensed dentists with more than 92% participating in our Delta Dental Premier network and more than 73% participating in Delta Dental PPO. We are consistently rated among the largest, best, and most efficiently run companies in Tennessee.
